Used the Masque Vivant today after not using it for months...ah the stinky smell is back! And my pores are again very small after using it. I pressed a good amount of the P50V into my skin before using it, and let it dry for 20 mins..its a pain to remove, I mix it with baking soda, as my aesthetician told me..but then I massaged in the Creme Verte Espoir, and glowing skin!

I can understand. I got my products today and the yall 02 is really, really more moisturizing than I thought it would be. My skin feels softer already, let's hope this works for awhile. My skin has absorbed it, which didn't happen with the jurlique recovery gel-- thanks so much. I will keep you posted.

The P50V is working like pure magic. I think it must have been reformulated, because it didn't feel too strong on my skin. I still use my fruit acid moisturizer without problems. At first I experienced spots, that lasted for three weeks, but now I hadn't had one since forever it seems. And my pores...they're really small! I should have taken a before-photo for comparison...but I took a pic with the meanest flash and no concealer on (except for under my eyes). I don't need it anymore. So I'm only wearing mascara, hooray! My lips still look horrible though. Damn weather. And my hair is a mess. No cure for that though

Anyone who's interested in trying this line, use the "contact us" section on the French site. They will reply to you in English, and are super helpful...I told them my concerns and skin condition and about a week later, I've been emailed a full regime of products to try. I think it's possible to order through them as well

This is my recommended regime I said that I had combination skin, prone to oiliness as well as dry patches and that my main concern was acne scarring.

* in the morning

1. Lait VIP O2 - first of all, you need to clean your skin with our "Oxygenating Cleansing Milk" - wash your face with cold water afterwards
2. Lotion P50W - on a cotton pad that you will split in 2, apply "Balancing Lotion P50W" on the cleavage, neck and all over the face
3. Lotion MC110 N°1 - apply few drops of the lotion on a gauze and pat the face gently, insisting on the neck, facial contour, the nasolabial lines and the cheekbones. Always use ascending movements from the inner face outwards. This lotion is also very good to tone and firm the skin. It smoothes lines and the wrinkles of the eye area.
4. Emulsion Biosensible - apply gently on the neck and all over the face
5. Silk Plus - apply a few drops of Silk Plus all over the face, neck and cleavage. This product is one of the final touches in the Biologique Recherche beauty treatment program.

* in the evening

1. Lait VIP O2
2. Lotion P50W
3. Sérum Oligo-protéines marines - extract 1 cc of the serum from the bottle. Apply on clean skin over all the face, neck and cleavage in a light ascending massage until the product has been completely absorbed. It will hydrate and unify your complexion (the pigmentation stains).
4. Crème Dermopurifiante - apply a hazelnut-sized amount of the cream on the face.
5. Crème PIGM 200 - apply on the pigmentation stains only

Twice a week in a thin layer, apply Masque Biosensible all over the face, neck and cleavage or damaged areas. Leave for 20 minutes and rinse off with tepid water.

When you mention 'clogged pores' are these blackheads, pustules (whiteheads), what do you refer to exactly? something you are using now is giving you the pore problem, more than likely. That said, the P50 works terrific at smoothing the skin, evening out the complexion, moisturizing, and purifying, diminishes redness, rosacea, dryness, blackheads and whiteheads. but to keep them away you must also help loosen up dead skin cells with another type of exfoliant...a 'scrub' if you will, first...then after some extractions this P50 is miraculous! That's just how I like to use it, but today, I used it after cleansing. So, it really depends on your skin and what it requires and how long it's going to take your skin to become balanced again. But this product works for mostly everybody I have recommended it to.

I wish I was still in L.A., I wouldnt mind meeting up with you and taking you to where I used to buy Biologique products...here's the aesthetician's address.It's in Weho. The Nile Institute, 9053 Nemo St., (310) 275-6453her name is Nina Curtis.
